    Help with resoldering RAM on Surface Pro 7 motherboard, can't find relevant resistors

    so first thing's first: I'm super aware that this is a very silly undertaking but I love a challenge.

    From my understanding, to ugprade a tablet with soldered RAM, you need to change a series of resistors to tell the computer which config it currently has, as the BIOS doesn't check for it.

    I'm completely alien to reading schematics, but I've been doing my best to read and google every part of the schematic that mentions RAM to try and understand what I need to do.

    I've attached any parts of the schematic I found that I think are relevant. Thus far I haven't been able to find the actual boardview (I think that's the name of the file I need) to match up these schematics with the physical board.

    Again, I know this is stupid to even try, but I just think it would be really fun if I can somehow pull this off. I can provide the schematics file if needed! Would also appreciate the boardview if anyone has it.

    (Sorry about the awful formatting, I'm new so I couldn't figure out how to hide attachments)

    Thanks so much guys.

      thank you so much!
      Forgive my ignorance, but would you happen to know which of these resistors I'd need to remove/swap in order to upgrade my motherboard from 8gb of RAM to 32gb?

        The above information is only for 2 channel - 4 channel selection. Below are the resistance values that need to be changed according to the RAM chip.
